I'd go for either the love theme (V&M), or the warrior theme. The first thing that came to mind was some festive music, like in the rennaissance with tamburins and flute... but I could just as well imagine Magrat as a warrior with a fanfare and lots of drums Looking forward to hearing it, whichever it will be!

The part I could always imagine music to is when the elves are stealing into the castle... so pretty... such pure evil ... their beautiful forms slipping through darkness with the moonlight catching their pale slender movements... so elegant and lithe... but with black malice in their hearts. Terrifying.

I think Del's description almost perfectly sums up what I was thinking, except she put it into words much better than what I could.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

I reckon a Stick & Bucket Dance would definitely be something that would be cool for you to write!

I was in a stage production of Lords & Ladies in 2002 and it was brilliant. We got some local Morris dancers to come and teach us some steps, but the Stick & Bucket dance (the highlight of the show, mind you) was done /without/ music, mainly because a) we didn't have any and b) none of us could play an accordian or similar. Still, it was a very very funny scene (and involved sticks, buckets, and then putting the buckets over the elves' heads and hitting them with the sticks).

And noone, I said NO ONE, is to ever perform the stick and bucket dance EVER again!

(I played Bestiality Carter - in a dress - and was assistant director)

I had another look at the jingly jangly stick whacking absurdity in the video above and I could knock something up, I reckon. The closest sound to an accordian I have is a dodgy, half broken, "melodica" of one of the kids. It might work though. Apart from that, it sounds like 2/4 at 80 bpm, and it repeats a bit. Chuck in a fiddle, tambourine, and some gratuitous sticks and we're done.

I like the awesome description of the Elves above though. I think I'll give that a go too..

Some quick research has led me to learn about the traditional Morris Dancing instrumentation of the Pipe and Tabor, so I will give this one a go. I have a soft spot for the folk tunes of the UK area, after all I am teaching myself the Tin Whistle among other things..
